Wonderful character development!

Fantastic!

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Jake Kasdan's "Bad Teacher" is an unabashedly silly movie. Given Cameron Diaz's characters antics, Jack Black or Melissa McCarthy could've just as easily played the role. There's also the occasional bodily function humor.Obviously the movie's nothing to take seriously. Just a big excuse to be ridiculous. Probably the sort of movie that they had fun making. It was a surprise to see that one of the screenwriters shares a name with me (he also wrote for the US version of "The Office").Basically, it's the sort of movie that you watch if you want nothing except to get entertained. Watch for Paul Feig (the director of 2016's "Ghostbusters") in an appearance as a dad at the car wash.

Watched this for the first time and it wasn't as funny as I thought it would be but it still wasn't bad I didn't really laugh out loud but I was kind of laughing on the inside Cameron Diaz as Elizabeth was really good she pulled off her character this gold-digging teacher who seemed to learn that money isn't everything in the end the whole movie she was raising money for breast implants which she didn't even end up getting there was also this gym teacher who kept going after her while she was trying to sink her claws into this other teacher who she knew was rich but after she realized money wasn't that important her and this gym teacher got together which was played by Jason Segel now that's another great actor very talented the whole movie she acted like he was beneath her just because he taught gym then she chose love over money which was a good choice and ended up as a guidance counselor at the school which I thought was cool but before that she was lying and cheating to get her way she cheated on the test of the students by getting the answers illegally to win a $5700 bonus that was the worst thing she did but before that she supervised a car wash that was meant to be for charity and took it for her breast implants another pretty bad thing too anyway if you're a fan of comedies or Cameron Diaz I say check it out I give it a 6/10.

I was a fan of Cameron Diaz until I saw this movie. If Diaz and other actors in this movie can't see why this movie is an insult to hard working teachers, students and parents alike, then there is really no point in repeating what was already said many times by other reviewers.Perhaps if Diaz and others in this movie had children of their own, maybe they will realize that there is really nothing funny about making a mockery of your children's education and the education system that is miserably failing millions of children in this country.Shame on you. Read the news. This isn't entertainment. This is just bad in every which way and then some.

This movie is now several years old, bad reviews and word of mouth have put me off watching it, despite being a fan of Jason Segel. However it was on TV tonight, and in the absence of anything else to watch, I decided to give it a go. Plot In A Paragraph: Elizabeth Halsey (Cameron Diaz) is a gold-digging teacher in Chicago, who swears at her students, drinks heavily, smokes marijuana, and shows movies while she sleeps through class. She plans to quit teaching and marry her rich fiancé, but when he dumps her after realizing she is only after his money, she must resume her job. She tries to win over substitute teacher Scott Delacorte (Justin Timberlake), who is also rich. Amy Squirrel (Lucy Punch), an overly enthusiastic teacher and colleague of Elizabeth, also wants Scott while the school's gym teacher, Russell Gettis (Jason Segel), makes it clear that he is interested in Elizabeth. Despite It's great premise, it was not as funny as it should have been. It had its moments and I did laugh a few times. Diaz gives a good performance and Timberlake sends himself up brilliantly, John Michael Higgins is a lot of fun as Wally Snur, the dolphin obsessed principal. However Jason Segel is not given as much to do as one would hope, likewise the brilliant Eric Stonestreet as Diaz's roommate.
